I love working with kids, from ages 3-60! No matter where you are on your journey to a brighter future, I’m ready to walk, talk, and play alongside you. I'm often talking with people about school issues, peer relationships, child or family conflicts, improving relationships within families, multi-cultural families, self esteem, and overall life stress. I have been trained in providing trauma-focused therapy, play therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). However, I pull from many other practices as well, so we can work together to find what works best for you.
While I have openings to serve Iowans of all backgrounds, including those who are immigrants and former refugees. I have a passion for serving children and helping them and their families. If you are interested in meeting with me, our sessions together can include mental health interpreters and caseworkers (if you choose).
Starting therapy can be a big first step towards healing. If you’re ready, please reach out today to get started. I look forward to hearing from you!
